SUMMARY:The Druze Question in Ahmad al Sharaa’s Syria
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \nOn Friday morning\, Israeli warplanes struck at an area next to the Syrian capital in Damascus. This strike came after days of clashes from the pro-Syrian government of Ahmad al-Sharaa\, attacking the Druze community near Damascus\, leaving dozens of people dead or wounded. \nOn Thursday\, Syria’s Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri harshly criticized Syria’s government for what he called an “unjustified genocidal attack” on the minority community. Yet\, others withing the Druze community are issuing calls not to break away from the nation of Syria. \nWhy is Israel coming in to support the Druze community? What are the pros and cons of this move? Will this trigger a counter-reaction among the Druze or the Syriam population as a whole? Will this be opening up another front of the war? \nAbout Our Speaker \nLt.-Col. (res.) Dr. Mordechai Kedar is a distinguished professor of  Arabic & Middle East literature and culture at Israel’s Bar Ilan University and a research associate at the University’s Begin-Sadat (BESA) Center for Strategic Studies.  Dr. Kedar is a 25-year veteran of IDF Military Intelligence. \nDr. Kedar is a sought-after lecturer in Israel and abroad and his extensive experience on intelligence\, counterterrorism and Arab and Middle East affairs coupled with his charisma and intelligence makes every encounter fascinating and his geo-strategic analysis captivating.

SUMMARY:What are the moral\, humanitarian and legal obligations of an attacked people to provide humanitarian aid and support to their enemies?
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \n  \nAs we all know\, on October 7\, 2023\, the Jewish people and the state of Israel endured the most difficult day of its existence since the Holocaust. We are all haunted to this day by the searing  images of Jewish children being burned in ovens in front of their parents; of parents tied to chairs and slaughtered in front of their children; of women and men being murdered or physically raped and tortured and paraded in front of cheering crowds in Gaza. Meanwhile\, 51 hostages remain in captivity in Gaza. No one knows exactly who is alive and what sort of hell-like conditions they have had to endure. \nOn Monday\, May 5th\, Israel’s Cabinet approved a new plan for the distribution of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.  We have seen\, over the last 19 months\, how Hamas has commandeered and looted the food aid delivery and how the United Nations and the International Red Cross has not visited our hostages\, even once. \nWhat are the moral and legal obligations of an attacked people towards their attackers?  What does International Law say is advisable in such a situation? What are the moral\, the legal and in the humanitarian obligations of the Jewish nation toward their enemies? \nAbout our Speaker: \nHere to discuss this is Moshe Jaffee. Moshe received his LLM from Columbia University Law School\, and is working on his doctorate at the University of Michigan Law School. He teaches a class on Constitutional and International Law at Cardoza University School of Law\, and at The Academic Center for Law and Science in Israel and has lectured at Harvard University Law School and at West Point.  Moshe is a member of the IDF’s Advocate General Corps.

SUMMARY:President Trump’s Middle East Trip and the National Security Implications for the State of Israel
DESCRIPTION:The transcript will be available here \n  \nAs President Trump concluded his Middle East Trip\, he was gifted with a $400 million plane from the Qataris to replace Air Force One\, a defense deal from the Qataris that with investment pledges to the United States worth over two trillion dollars from the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates\, as well as the Qataris. The Qatari military will be purchasing billions in US armaments\, including 210 state-of the-art Boeing jets\, the UAE purchasing state of the art AI intelligence\, and the Saudis have purchase over $1trillion worth of deals\, plus the possibility of helping Saudi Arabia build a nuclear reactor. \n On top of that\, he has met with the former Al Qaeda and ISIS jihadist now in charge of Syria\, Ahmed al-Sharaa\, lifting sanctions\, and stating that this “would give Syria a fresh start.” Up until December\, Ahmed al-Sharaa had a $10 million bounty on his head. \nTrump has also just removed the CAATSA sanctions on Turkey and has promised  Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he will unlock a $23 billion F-16 deal\, with Turkey’s aspirations for joining the F-35 program. On top of this\, without any prior discussion with Israeli Prime Netanyahu\, he has secured the release of dual American-Israeli citizen Edan Alexander. \nEven more troubling\, President Trump’s administration is engaged in high level nuclear talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 2018\, President Trump withdrew from the JCPOA. Now\, he is saying\, “We are getting very close to securing a nuclear deal with Iran.” \nHere to make some sense of these recent developments is Dr. Emmanuel Navon. \nAbout Our Speaker: \nDr. Emmanuel Navon is an International Relations scholar and author. He lectures International Relations at Tel Aviv University (He was awarded the “Best Professor of the Year” prize by the Faculty of Social Sciences in 2022)\, is a Senior Fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)\, and a foreign affairs analyst for i24news. He has also taught at Reichman University and at the IDF’s National Security College. \nDr. Navon has authored four books and dozens of articles that have appeared in prestigious journals such as the Review of International Studies and the Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs\, and in world-class newspapers such as Le Monde and Newsweek. His book The Star and the Scepter: A Diplomatic History of Israel (Jewish Publication Society/University of Nebraska Press\, 2020) is an academic reference\, which has been translated so far to Hebrew\, Chinese\, Japanese\, French\, and Italian. \nA sought-after public speaker\, Navon has addressed the American Enterprise Institute\, AIPAC\, the Jewish Federations of North America\, as well as leading universities such as Georgetown\, Columbia\, and Rice. Navon is a frequent guest for American\, French\, and Israeli media\, and he has appeared on Voice of America\, on France 24\, and on the Knesset Channel. \nPreviously\, Navon served as CEO of ELNET-Israel (the Israel office\, and central hub\, of the largest pro-Israel organization in Europe); as head of the Political Science and Communication Department at the Jerusalem Haredi College (affiliated to Bar-Ilan University); as founding partner of the Navon-Levy Group (a consultancy that promoted Israeli agricultural and energy projects in sub-Saharan Africa); as CEO of BNIC (an NGO that trained Israeli business leaders in diplomatic advocacy); and as consultant with ARTTIC (a leading European consulting firm specialized in R&D funding). \nDr. Navon was born in Paris\, France\, in 1971 and went to a bilingual (French/English) school. He graduated in public administration from Sciences-Po\, one of Europe’s most prestigious universities. In 1993 he moved to Israel\, enrolled in the IDF\, and earned a Ph.D. in international relations from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is equally and perfectly fluent in English\, French\, and Hebrew\, and is conversant in German and Italian. He is a husband\, father\, grandfather\, and an active triathlete.
